Produktbeschreibung
A manor house full of secrets, a recluse who fears for his life, and four warring heirs out to claim their inheritance. There's murder afoot in the country this summer. England, 1926. When Lord Edgington receives a letter from Hugo Templeton-Swift, a famously rich magnate who believes he's being poisoned, the renowned detective fetches his assistant, his golden retriever, and a full staff of servants and heads off to the countryside to investigate. But when the bodies start falling in the extraordinary estate of Riverside Keep, anyone could be guilty. Though all fingers point to Hugo's much younger wife, his three estranged children have their own reasons for wanting their father out of the picture, and even the servants are acting suspiciously. With the aid of his loyal grandson, Lord Edgington must pick through the mysterious manor in order to catch the killer and solve "The Curious Case of the Templeton-Swifts". Dive into the pacy, puzzling and particularly warm-hearted new entry in the bestselling series of 1920s whodunits. The sixth "Lord Edgington Investigates..." novel is sure to have you holding your sides and scratching your head, as you race to spot the culprit before the beloved detectives can.
Autorenporträt
I'm a Welsh-Irish-Englishman originally from South London but now living in Burgos, a beautiful medieval city in the north of Spain, with my French-Spanish wife and two our ridiculously international children. Writing has always been my passion. It was my favourite half-an-hour a week at primary school, and I started on my first, truly abysmal book as a teenager. So it wasn't a difficult decision to study literature at university which led to an MA in Creative Writing.I grew up in a crime-fiction-mad family and had made a few clumsy attempts at writing one over the years before coming up with the idea for my contemporary whodunits "The Izzy Palmer Mysteries". My second series, the 1920s-set "Lord Edgington Investigates...", has been a great success, with each of the books making a mark on the mystery charts, and I'm about to launch a second historical series.If you'd like to tell me what you think about my detectives, my writing or the world at large, feel free to get in touch at www.benedictbrown.net where you can also download my free mystery novellas.
